A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

An Ning never expected that encountering a wild boar today would lead to such an unexpected gain. If Tang Qiuqiao hadn't told her, she would never have connected Qiao Shanshan and Wang Xiuying together.

But here's the question: Qiao Shanshan is Commander Li's niece. What is her relationship with Wang Xiuying that would cause her to target him specifically for her sake?

If one had to say there was a connection, An Ning felt that Qiao Shanshan and Song Wenyuan might be closer than Wang Xiuying.

After all, one was Commander Li's subordinate, and the other was Commander Li's niece.

On the contrary, Wang Xiuying was just an ordinary military wife, and her husband wasn't even in Commander Li's regiment.

Wait, Song Wenyuan?

Anning finally discovered the blind spot.

Because Qiao Shanshan had been with Tang Qiuqiao before, she assumed that Qiao Shanshan was targeting her because of Tang Qiuqiao.

Although she asked Tang Qiuqiao at the time, she still had some doubts about what Tang Qiuqiao said.

They felt that the other party might also harbor resentment because of the program.

She had traveled from the future and didn't think there was anything special about the performances on stage.

But for people today, this is considered an honor.

Compared to their show, other shows seem less exciting, which is tantamount to offending people, isn't it?

However, now that Anning has stepped out of that circle, upon closer reflection, she realizes that things have changed.

This could very well be a romantic entanglement left behind by Song Wenyuan; otherwise, she would have no reason to find a reason for Qiao Shanshan to target her.

So, although Song Wenyuan got married in his hometown, he still presented himself as single in the army.

The idea appeared in Anninghai, but she immediately dismissed it.

If Song Wenyuan had presented herself as single in the army, Commander Li wouldn't have arranged such a nice room for her and provided her with accommodation.

Surely it can't be that Qiao Shanshan is just imagining things, right?

The simplest way to find out the truth of this matter is to ask Qiao Shanshan directly.

However, judging from Qiao Shanshan's previous tactful remarks, even if An Ning came to her door directly, she would definitely not admit it.

Secondly, there are Song Wenyuan and Commander Li.

Song Wenyuan is currently on a mission and has not returned. As for Commander Li's words, An Ning is more inclined to believe that he is unaware of these matters; otherwise, he would not have sided with him that day.

When Commander Li said she was innocent, Qiao Shanshan's expression was incredibly interesting.

Therefore, the only breakthrough point lies with Wang Xiuying.

Although Wang Xiuying was punished along with her husband for failing to report her as a spy, she told Anning directly that she would not give up.

She was only temporarily staying in this house before, and she was already capable of reporting her. Now that the house has actually been allocated to them, she doesn't believe she will willingly accept this outcome.

After this incident, all the children in the unit learned a lesson. Even after the rain stopped in the afternoon, far fewer children came out to play, and even Xu Pengfei stayed at home obediently.

However, he had a lot of complaints about Sun Weiguo, because it was Sun Weiguo who got lost, but the walkie-talkie that was taken apart belonged to him and Xiao Ni'er.

It's easy to convert a walkie-talkie into a radio direction finding device, but it's difficult, or even impossible, to convert an existing radio direction finding device back into a walkie-talkie because the internal wiring has been completely destroyed by the radio. You would have to find materials from the radio itself to modify it.

Although Li Bowen said he would replace the unused walkie-talkies with her, An Ning didn't expect him to do so. So she agreed to Xu Pengfei's request that she go to the county town to find the materials when the weather was better in a few days.

The medal-awarding ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. the following day, during which the troops would commend the soldiers who participated in the battle.

It was at this moment that Anning learned that Wang Xiuying's husband had sacrificed his life.

According to sources, after returning from the meeting that day, Wang Xiuying had an argument with her husband, who was usually indecisive.

The argument revolved around the same old issues: Wang Xiuying blamed Tian Wei for not working hard enough to get a bigger house, which was why she couldn't give him a son.

That night, the two sides parted on bad terms. Tian Wei did not stay at home but went to the dormitory.

When news of the war in the south came, he immediately signed up and led his team south.

He and his men earned considerable merit in the battle that drove away the South Vietnamese warships, but because of the whistleblower incident, these merits were still a bit short of what would have been enough for him to be promoted to battalion commander. So he resolutely participated in the subsequent island landing battle.

It was on the island that he and his team were ambushed by the enemy.

Tian Wei was seriously injured. Due to the poor medical conditions on the warship, his injuries could not be effectively treated, and he died on the way back to his unit.

Nineteen people were killed and nearly seventy were wounded in this battle. One enemy warship was successfully sunk, more than one hundred invading officers and soldiers were killed, more than fifty were captured, and several islands occupied by South Vietnam were recovered.

Wang Xiuying, as the wife of one of the victims, was also invited to participate in the medal awarding ceremony.

She had received news of her husband's sacrifice two days earlier, but when Anning saw her, she didn't seem sad at all; instead, she was chatting with the soldiers around her.

An Ning quickly recalled the rumors Zhao Xuemei had told her about Wang Xiuying: it seemed that she had married her current husband shortly after her previous husband's death, and now she was looking for her next husband in the same way.

The awarding ceremony lasted for more than two hours. It wasn't until An Ning's name was called in the second half that she realized she was also involved.

The blueprints she gave to Li Bowen unexpectedly earned her a third-class merit award and a bonus of three thousand yuan.

Although she was not a soldier, it greatly helped her in her future career advancement.

Even if you don't work in a company, once the market economy opens up, you can start your own business and have various advantages when cooperating with the government.

As for the three thousand yuan, needless to say, in an era when the monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, three thousand yuan was a considerable sum, and An Ning was already very satisfied.

After the medal-awarding ceremony, the military announced a shocking decision—the military was going to start a factory.

It's not one factory, but two factories.

A cannery and a toy factory.

Island areas have always been poor and underdeveloped regions in China. Although they are close to Guangdong Province, the islands are separated by a strait, making it difficult for them to catch up economically and for them to live in harsh conditions.

In some affluent areas, military spouses can find employment by accompanying their husbands to the military base.

However, even the accommodation conditions on the island are much worse than in other places, and the troops often find themselves in a state of financial deficit.

It's unclear what considerations led the military leaders, but in any case, after winning this battle, they jointly announced this inspiring decision.

Once the factory is completed and officially put into operation, not only will the military have additional income, but it will also benefit military families in the future.

The second reward Anning received from above was a formal employee position at the toy factory.

The idea to start a toy factory came from Anning. Minister Tian of the Logistics Department clearly told her that this position was a reward for her and that she could handle it as she pleased.

You can either go and work there yourself or sell the job.
